Pervez Musharraf as Army Chief and sign an advice for dissolution of the National Assembly and his resignation as Prime Minister on October 12, 1999.
Sharif has now let it be known that he refused to sign the documents saying "over my dead body". In a book titled Jilai Watan Wazir-i-Azam (Exiled Prime Minister) launched in Islamabad the other day, he said that the then Corps Commander of Rawalpindi, Gen. Mahmood, threatened him of dire consequences for 'disobeying the orders'.
